Gay, Bolt Not Running New York This Weekend

Highly anticipated sprint showdown will have to wait.
The much ballyhooed 100-meter battle between sprint Usain Bolt and Tyson Gay this weekend at the IAAF Diamond League meet in New York is going to have to wait, as it has been announced that both athletes have withdrawn from the event.
“It looks very unlikely he will compete,” Gay’s agent, Mark Wetmore, told Reuters. “There’s a readiness (needed) to run the 100 metres, and he does not have that.”
Bolt, the reigning Olympic gold medalist and world record holder in both the 100 and 200 meters, pulled out of the New York meeting last week due to injury. Gay, who ran a world record 19.41 seconds for the rarely-contested straight 200 meter dash at an exhibition last month in England, is expected to compete at the next Diamond League meeting July 3 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon.

Gordon against the best
As I write, Jehue Gordon is going through his final preparations ahead of the men’s 400 metres hurdles.
The T&T teenager will run in lane seven. Gordon squares off against the best in the world – T&T-born American Kerron Clement, another American Bershawn Jackson, Puerto Rico’s Javier Culson, and 2004 Olympic champion Felix Sanchez of the Dominican Republic.
I can tell you the sun is beating down relentlessly on the Icahn Stadium track. Conditions are very Caribbean, which augurs well for Gordon and the other T&T athletes on show today.
Bledman bolts to personal best!
Good afternoon. Welcome to the Icahn Stadium, Randall’s Island, New York. Express Online is here for the adidas Grand Prix IAAF Diamond League meet.
There’s already good news for Trinidad and Tobago!
Keston Bledman clocked a personal best 10.01 seconds to finish second, behind American Rae Edwards (10.00). Another T&T sprinter, Marc Burns finished third in 10.11, his best run this season.
So, Bledman proving that his windy 9.93 in Florida last Saturday was no fluke, and Burns is back on track following a foot injury.

Wow mixed results but im still proud! To Jehue keep yuh head held high its a process and you're bound to lose some but just focus on growth and improvement. Miss KAB i wanted to see a faster time but well done for the seasons best. Congrats to mr thompson you are coming into form nicely and Keston Bledman wow 10.01!!!! The Brauman camp is working wonders!

I read wrong it was VCB that cramped and held on for the win.

Richard in 9.89 with a +2.4 wind.........not bad.

big trailing wind though, but ah good win nontheless
-
I watched the race with Baptiste....... I cyah say I was impressed she looked stiff and almost robotic ...she was still in the scheme of things up to the bend somewhat but she looked soooo stiff and robotic I was like damnnn...............Alison Felix is so naturally fluent she impressed me alot VC did well to win it she is pretty strong lady ....but the best runner in that race is undoubtedly Alison Felix despite the loss
-
LoL
You do realize that VCB cramped up from the curve, no?
She is way ahead of AF at the moment.

Thompson wins 100m in Adidas Grand Prix
By STEPHON NICHOLAS Sunday, June 13 2010
TRINIDAD and Tobago’s Richard Thompson clocked a fast 9.89 seconds yesterday to win the gold medal in the Men’s 100m final at the Icahn Stadium, New York as the Diamond League continued with the Adidas Grand Prix.
Thompson, a silver medallist at the 2008 Olympics, showed his pedigree with a scorching but wind-aided 9.89 sprint, leaving Jamaican Yohan Blake in his wake.
Blake was second in a time of 9.91 seconds while Antiguan Daniel Bailey followed closely in third in 9.92 to complete a 1-2-3 Caribbean finish. Americans Trell Kimmons (9.92), Ivory Williams (9.98) and Michael Rodgers (9.99) placed fourth to sixth respectively.
Thompson received six Diamond points for his victory and is now second on the 100m Diamond Ranking.
Pan Am Junior gold medallist Keston Bledman was second in the Men’s “B” 100m final, crossing in 10.01 seconds in a scintillating finish with American Rae Monzavous Edwards.
Bledman won gold at the Star Athletics Sprint Series I last week in a wind-aided 9.93 seconds but just missed out on glory as Edwards pipped him for first place in 10 seconds flat. Marc Burns was third in 10.11 seconds.
There was no more success for TT at the meet as hurdler Jehue Gordon and sprinter Kelly-Ann Baptiste failed to medal. Gordon, a bronze medallist at the Ponce Grand Prix recently, had a disappointing showing in the Men’s 400m hurdles.
Gordon crossed the finish line in eighth place, stopping the clock at 49.96 seconds. American Kerron Clement, who holds four “world” gold medals, broke USA James Carter’s meet record with a sizzling 47.86 finish to take first place.
Compatriot Bershawn Jackson had a season best 47.94 time to take silver while Puerto Rico’s Javier Culson was third in a time of 48.47 seconds.
Kelly-Ann Baptiste just missed out a bronze medal in the Women’s 200m event, clocking a season best 22.82 to finish in fourth place. Baptiste has been in sensational form since switching camps recently, lowering her 100m personal best to an impressive 9.84 recently.
The former NCAA 100m champion, lowered her season best time over 200m but it was still not good enough to mount the rostrum.
Jamaican Veronica Campbell-Brown produced a world leading and met record time of 21.98 seconds to win the gold medal while Americans Allyson Felix (22.03) and Bianca Knight (SB 22.59) were second and third respectively.

Very late to this party, but I am Loving everything that is coming out of that Brauman camp this year. I would be lying if I said I didn't expect a better 200m run from KAB, but this does nothing to confirm or deny her 100m run last week.
Big congrats to Bledman on his PR :beermug: :beermug: Would like to see him become the 5th trini to break the sub-10 barrier. Burns time says he has return to form/full health. Those times from Brazil were not pretty to see.
Even though it was windy I like the consistency in that 9.90 range by RT. A legal winded one will come soon enough. Looks like he has put on some much needed muscle too. Ato already called out his errors during the broadcast so no need to repeat, but he also benefited from Blake's foolishness celebrating before he crossed the line instead of dipping. Hope Mills thump him in his head. If/when RT adds the scalp of Dix to his list, I believe he would be able to call himself the best of the rest, but Blake, Bailey and Dix will not let him have it easy. Looking forward to hi 200m run in Prefontaine of July 3rd.
-
^^ Aviator you said Bledman can be the fifth Trini to break the 10 Sec barrier..I know the four others are Ato, RT, Burns and Brown...but I have a feeling Callender will break the 10 sec barrier before Bledman..
-
Bledman is next.
-
I agree it will be Bledman as well.....But I would not be surprised if Sorrillo comes close soon.
Cant wait to see that mens 100m at the T&T championships. I think this race will produce the best out of all of the current 100m contenders .....the results might even raise the timing question at HCS again! lol.
Last year was four 10.0s. For this year four sub 10s would not be surprising if all of the conditions are right. This race should definitely make the page on iaaf website.

Bleddy stands a better chance, given his training season. Sorillo is likely tapped out by a hard college season, while Bledman is aiming to peak later for the money part of the season mid/late Summer.

Here ye here ye ... I'll take that bet Bledman for $1000 monopoly dollars to beat out Sorillo and Calendar for the next sub 10 run!
-
LOL the TNT '05 trials (those of the fastest average time of any country on the planet that year) are probably best left alone as we head to another one. Anyone want to guess how many people in that race ever ran a time better since that day(in 5 years)?
Reminds me of Fasuba's coach when I called his 9.85 BS a few years ago in Doha.
"I agree with Boldon, who is sure it is the only sub ten he will ever "run", but it is the fault of the federation"
He was right about the first part :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
